The United States is deeply disturbed by extensive and credible
indications of fraud committed in the Ukrainian presidential election.
We strongly support efforts to review the conduct of the election and
urge Ukrainian authorities not to certify results until investigations
of organized fraud are resolved. We call on the Government of Ukraine
to respect the will of the Ukrainian people, and we urge all Ukrainians
to resolve the situation through peaceful means. The Government bears
a special responsibility not to use or incite violence, and to allow
free media to report accurately on the situation without intimidation
or coercion. The United States stands with the Ukrainian people in
this difficult time.
